Haiku + Senryu

Haiku is a seasonal, reverent celebration of a subject (nature or people) trying to make a feeling.
Senryu tends to have a victim and may be humorous or irreverant trying to make a point.
- paraphrased from Michael Dylan Welch's Graceguts

abandon...




don't abandon me 
while I learn
to fly




NOTE
In memory of Kat Creighton who loved the beach, the sea in New Jersey.
Her haiku blog was my ninth life.
Her gift from a friend, a seashell angel, was her most recent avatar on Facebook.

Love story...


1. Muscovy duck (with the pink face) has been alone for a long time in the small Dromana wetlands on Boundary Road.
But a few days ago, I saw a new white duck.
And Muscovy had eyes in just one direction!

Love story unfolds
Timeless feeling of closeness
Feathers together



2. And the love story below has been unfolding for quite some time.
The guy (cockatoo) on the right has a broken wing, and yet he manages to fly.
But he can't get his wing back into its usual place.
It looks quite low in this photo.
However, in the last few months he has had a constant companion.


I am here to groom
I am here to fly with you
Be my love story
